In an air conditioning system, the chiller unit plays an key role in cooling down the temperature of the indoor environment. The chiller works by removing heat energy from the air conditioning cycle and dissipating it outside.
What is water chiller?
The chiller cools water down to a temperature between 5 to 7°C. Then chilled water is transferred to the AHE, where it is used to cool the indoor air. As the cool water passes through a heat exchanger, it absorbs the warm air from the indoor environment. The heated water then returns to the chiller where it is cooled again.
types of chillers
There are two types of chillers commonly used in air conditioning systems - air-cooled chiller and water-cooled chiller. The former relies on ambient air to cool down the refrigerant while in the latter, water is used as a heat transfer medium. Different types of compressors are also available for different operating conditions.
advantages
Firstly, it provides a more energy-efficient and cost-effective cooling solution compared to other traditional cooling systems.
What's more, it can better control the temperature and make the indoor environment more comfortable.
other functions
In addition to cooling the indoor air, the chiller can also be used for other purposes such as cooling machinery in industrial plants, data centers and hospitals. It can even be used to cool swimming pools, allowing for year-round swimming.
